No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate metabolic effects of 3 different nutritional compounds.

Fasting (36 hours) creates a catabolic state that is comparable with the catabolic state seen in acute illness.

This study is a randomized, placebo cross-over study investigating 8 healthy men on 4 separated days (at least 3 weeks between trials).

* High leucine content drink
* Low leucine content drink
* Low leucine content drink + HMB
* Carbohydrate (isocaloric)

The investigators hypothesize that these nutritional supplements may counteract catabolic processes in different ways and degrees.
